Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Cutting yourslef can lead to bigger problems, and huge doctor bills. Tell X that they need to stop otherwise they will make things worse for their health and their mother's happiness. Tell them that their mother loves them no matter what happens and that their mother doesn't want them to do this because it is not X's fault. X should seek counseling and it would be a good idea for you to go with X to make X feel like you will always be there for them and that they are not alone. Hope that I helped. Contact me if you anything else.

Your her friend, explain that to her and tell her that she needs to get some help if she thinks it is her fault, because it is not. The best thing would be to go with her to like a counseling center, or a center for teens. If you go online, you will be able to find a clinic or a place where you and her can go to get counseling for this and maybe even solve the problem with her mom. So in reality you may be helping both of them. But it is important you re-assure her of your friendship and that if she does decide to go for counseling, that you go with her as a friend. That would be the best thing to do. Also, why don't you think of inviting her over for a sleep over or dinner one time, like a girls night together or something. This might make her feel more open to you, and it will show her you care and want to, or want her to get help. Hope I helped, if you need anything else...leave one in my inbox. :)

The first thing X needs to do is seek help immediately. Cutting is a serious problem that needs to be addressed quickly and discreetly. This is the first thing that must be done IMMEDIATLY. If you truly are her friend, you must tell her this.
Secondly, Food is a fundamental element towards living. Everyone needs and deserves food. If her mother is experiencing money problems, this is not a large issue. There are many food banks and donation centers where food is readily ( and privately) available for pickup. No one has to know, if this is a large issue.
BUT. Your friend needs to seek immediately concerning the "cutting" problem.
Self mutilation is a serious and very dangerous thing.
Good Luck.
